Fire/Table Read


Yesterday I drove up to Santa Clarita for a "Riches" table read. It is really fun reading the scripts before they are shot and seeing how they develop. Also, the cast is funny and talented so the reads are always a lot of fun.


On my way, I noticed how grey the sky was from all of the fires that we have had lately so I took a picture, which I posted. The picture was taken at noon in "sunny" California. Apparently the winds have changed so instead of blowing out to sea, the smoke has blown inland. Unfortunately, just when fire fighters though things were under control, another part of Orange County caught on fire last nigh. :(

FIRE

It has been a tough few days for California residents. There are 14 fires, over 400 homes have burned down and thousands of people have been evacuated. It is really sad and this is quite a national disaster. The fire fighters are starting to get some of the fires contained but they have had a hard time because we have had 108 mile an hour winds.

Party



My birthday party/autumn fest was a lot of fun yesterday. Everyone that attended had a great time. My friend and I threw the party in Griffith Park and we carved pumpkins, bobbed for apples and smashed a pinata.


There were a lot of people having various parties in the park. There was a group of people having a family reunion, a family that had a jumping machine rented for their child's birthday party and group of people having a metal detector party to see what they could find.


One thing that was really cool was that a hawk perched directly above where we were having our party. It was beautiful and none of us had ever seen one so close up.


We got really lucky and had a great day weather wise, unfortunately in several other areas of California there are major wild fires causing evacuations, power outages and homes being destroyed.
The top picture is of my good friend Josh Sussman and me carving a pumpkin together. The picture below it is of the hawk.

R Bar

Last night I got invited to a party at this really cool place called "R Bar". It is in an unmarked building and the door stays locked. A doorman peeps through a slot just like the Emerald City in the movie "Wizard of Oz" and asks for the password.

Once we gave the correct password, the door opened and the doorman asked to see our IDs. We headed inside and the inside is pretty cool. It kind of reminded me of a mixture between a haunted mansion and a pirate ship. We made it a short night as the two people I went with and myself all have a lot to do today.

Today is my birthday party so I'm prepping food this morning and then heading to Griffith Park around noon to set up.
